Japāna — trīs pretendenti teica, ka tā ir Nagasaki vai krūšutēka

Nagasaki’s three chosen consortiums to go through to the next round for the race to land a licence for an Integrated Resort casino have been told they will not be allowed to bid for a licence in any other Japanese prefecture.

Casinos Austria International, Oshidori International/Mohegan Gaming and a consortium made up of The Niki of Japan and the Chyau Fwu Parkview Group have all made it through to the next round of Nagasaki’s partner-selection process as the prefecture looks to land a licence for an Integrated Resort casino. But all have now been told it’s Nagasaki or bust.

Only three licences are up for grabs in Japan’s first wave of licensing with Osaka, Yokohama and Wakayama so far joining Nagasaki.

The authorities there have said: “Any investment company that will hold a five per cent or more share in a firm formally progressing in the IR proposal process cannot be an investment company for another concurrent bid in a different IR development and operation public tender in Japan.”

The three entities ware due to take part in a ‘competitive dialogue’ with the selectors with a probity test on their suitability to take place in May. In June they will present all the necessary documents for their bid with August the likely month for an announcement for who has won the race.

Nagasaki Vice-Governor Ken Hirata wants the project to be developed at the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Sasebo city with an investment of between US$3.2bn to US$4.2bn.

No pārējiem pretendentiem Niki ir Niki Club nodaļa, kas iepriekš vadīja NIKI Resort, dabas kūrortu, kas atrodas Nasu, savukārt Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group ir daļa no Taivānas būvniecības uzņēmuma Chyau Fwu, kuram ir pieredze MICE un pašlaik slēpošanas kūrorta celtniecība Hokaido Niseko.
Casinos Austria International ir paziņojis, ka tā projektā kā pastāvīgs aprīkojums varētu iekļaut Vīnes filharmonisko orķestri. Kazino spa īpašu uzsvaru liktu uz mūsdienīgu medicīnisko aprūpi.

Oshidori International Development Japānas uzņēmums Godogaisha un ASV operators Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment ir apvienojušies atlikušajā piedāvājumā. Viņi teica, ka sadarbosies, veidojot pasaules līmeņa integrētu kūrortu, kā arī veidojot dinamisku kopienu, lai Nagasaki kļūtu par izcilu ceļojumu galamērķi un galveno dzīvojamo māju izvēli.
